Abstract
Bio-based wax compositions contain at least one of the following components: epoxides of non-hydrogenated vegetable oils, epoxides of fatty acid esters. epoxides of tall oil fatty acid esters, chemically modified epoxides of non-hydrogenated vegetable oils, chemically modified epoxides of fatty acid esters, and chemically modified epoxides of tall oil fatty acid esters. The wax compositions can be used to produce candle sticks, container candles and/or composite materials.
Claims32
A wax composition comprising;
- at least one non-hydrogenated epoxy product selected from the group consisting of epoxides of vegetable oils, epoxides of fatty acid esters, epoxides of tall oil fatty acid esters, chemically modified derivatives of non-hydrogenated epoxy products, and mixtures thereof;
- and
- at least one wax component selected from the group consisting of paraffin waxes, hydrogenated tallow and fats, waxes of fully hydrogenated vegetable oils and partially hydrogenated vegetable oils, fatty acids, polyol fatty acid partial esters, products of trans-esterification of fully and partially hydrogenated vegetable oils, products of trans-esterification of polyol fatty acid partial esters, and mixtures thereof.
A method for making a wax composition comprising blending
- at least one epoxy product selected from the group consisting of epoxides of non-hydrogenated oils, epoxides of fatty acid esters, epoxides of tall oil fatty acid esters, chemically modified derivatives of non-hydrogenated epoxy products, and mixtures thereof;
- and
- at least one wax component selected from the group consisting of paraffin waxes, hydrogenated tallow and fats, waxes of fully hydrogenated vegetable oils and partially hydrogenated vegetable oils, fatty acids, polyol fatty acid partial esters, products of trans-esterification of fully and partially hydrogenated vegetable oils, products of trans-esterification of polyol fatty acid partial esters, and mixtures thereof.
